Alien Parasites, Antarctic Booze, and the King of PR Chaos: Bo Shurling on The Thing! Aug 13, 2025

On this frosty episode of the Adult Beverage Film Podcast, we crack open our survival rations (a.k.a. adult beverages) and thaw out one of cinema’s chilliest horror masterpieces — John Carpenter’s The Thing. Joining us in the frozen tundra of our recording session is the legendary Bo Shurling — unit publicist, award-winner, celebrity wrangler, and the only man we know who can set up a Samuel L. Jackson press tour in the morning, bowl with Cameron Diaz in the afternoon, and still have enough energy to discuss alien shape-shifters over a beer.

We dig into the paranoia, the practical effects that still ooze, and the eternal question: who really had the whiskey in the last scene? Bo shares wild Hollywood set stories, the fine art of keeping A-listers happy in freezing weather, and why Antarctic researchers apparently never have enough flamethrowers.

So grab your parka, pour something strong (preferably not from an unmarked bottle next to a blood test), and join Kent, Laura, Patrick, Squeeker, and Bo as we dissect The Thing in the only way we know how — with laughter, libations, and just enough suspicion to side-eye your co-hosts.

Love, Vodka, and Oligarch Drama — Nicholas Brown Joins Us for Sean Baker’s Anora! Jul 31, 2025

Get ready to uncork some serious conversation (and maybe pop a few questionable champagne corks), because this episode of the Adult Beverage Film Podcast is hopping on a private jet straight into Sean Baker’s wild, heartfelt, and occasionally vodka-soaked Anora. Helping us navigate this whirlwind of love, chaos, and Russian family drama is special guest Nicholas Brown — camera assistant extraordinaire with credits on The Righteous Gemstones, Halloween Ends, Outer Banks, and Mr. Mercedes. He’s also the mastermind behind The Second Sticks Podcast and co-host of Focus Puller At Work Podcast, meaning he’s got both the insider scoop on what happens behind the camera… and the gossip about what happens after a few too many wrap-party drinks.

Joining Nicholas are your favorite cinematic drinking buddies: Kent Smith (our award-winning producer, director, and camera guru), Patrick G. Keenan (actor in 61+ films and counting), Laura Truman (film critic and vintage film hoarder), and Carlisle “Squeaker” Hamrick (audio wizard and full-time movie curmudgeon).

We’re clinking glasses while diving into Ani’s fairy-tale-meets-trainwreck romance with Vanya, the rich, too-young son of a Russian oligarch. Imagine Pretty Woman—but swap the limo for a Gulfstream jet, the glass slipper for a mink coat, and add a high-speed, vodka-fueled chase through Brooklyn. We’ll be breaking down Baker’s signature mix of screwball comedy, gut-punch emotion, and razor-sharp social commentary, all while asking the important questions:

How many martinis does it take to make an oligarch’s son look like Prince Charming?
What cocktail pairs best with a hasty international annulment?
And is there enough tequila in Brooklyn to erase the memory of marrying into a family that makes Succession look tame?

So pour yourself something strong (but maybe not Russian Standard unless you’re feeling brave), and join us for an episode full of laughs, filmmaking insights, and the kind of relationship advice you definitely shouldn’t take seriously.

Lights, Camera… Vampires? Steve Saxon Joins Us for a Bloody Good Time with Sinners! Jul 01, 2025

This week on the Adult Beverage Film Podcast, we’re sharpening our fangs, pouring something strong, and sinking our teeth into Ryan Coogler’s electrifying vampire thriller Sinners. Helping us navigate this dark, soulful ride is none other than Steve Saxon — Director of Photography, camera operator, and all-around visual wizard whose credits range from feature films like Cold Storage, 40 Fears, The Ultimate Life, Redneck Roots, and The Last Passport to short film gems like Mike, Little Package, and Chief Tendoy. Basically, if it’s got a lens, Steve’s pointed it at something cool.

Joining Steve are your favorite cinematic drinking buddies: Kent Smith (our award-winning producer/director), Patrick G. Keenan (actor in 61+ films and counting), Laura Truman (film critic and reel collector), and Carlisle “Squeaker” Hamrick (audio genius and professional movie curmudgeon). Together, we break down:

Behind-the-lens magic – Steve spills on how the Sinners crew captured that perfect blend of Southern Gothic dread and sultry, blood-soaked atmosphere.
Soundtrack soul – Why the film’s gospel, blues, and roots-inspired score deserves its own record deal.
Sin, blood & salvation – How vampirism becomes a metaphor for addiction, trauma, and the high price of fame.
The perfect drink pairing – Think smooth bourbon with a sharp bite (and maybe a dash of holy water).

It’s a gritty, genre-blending deep dive full of laughs, craft talk, and the kind of exclusive on-set insights you can only get when your guest has filmed everything from indie darlings to vampire showdowns.

Cartels, Courtrooms & Catchy Choruses — We’re Talking Emilia Pérez! Jun 09, 2025

This week on the Adult Beverage Film Podcast, we’re shaking up our cocktails and our genres with Jacques Audiard’s bold, bonkers, and beautiful Emilia Pérez. Part musical, part crime thriller, and part “wait, did they just break into song during a cartel shootout?”, this Cannes sensation tells the story of Rita — a burned-out lawyer who’s roped into helping a ruthless drug lord disappear… only to discover he doesn’t want to dodge the law, he wants to become the woman he’s always dreamed of being. Enter Emilia Pérez: diva, dreamer, and living proof that Scarface and La La Land had a baby with a Latin pop soundtrack.

Kent, Laura, Patrick, and Squeeker pop the cork and dive into gender identity, redemption arcs, cartel politics, and whether choreographed musical numbers can survive in a world of AK-47s. We tackle the big questions:

How do you cast a drug lord turned pop diva and make us believe it?
What cocktail pairs best with a power ballad about smuggling routes?
And is it possible to two-step your way out of a federal indictment?

Pour yourself something strong, turn up the volume, and join us for the most tuneful crime story you’ll hear this year.

Late-Night Laughs, Polyester Suits & Actual Demons — We’re Talking Late Night with the Devil! Feb 27, 2025

Move over, Johnny Carson—this late-night talk show’s gone full brimstone! In this episode of the Adult Beverage Film Podcast, Kent, Laura, Patrick, and Squeeker pour up something strong and dive into Late Night with the Devil, the retro-horror fever dream that blends 70s talk-show nostalgia with demonic possession mayhem.

The premise? A struggling TV host in the groovy, bell-bottomed era of 1977 will do anything for ratings… including inviting a guest straight from the fiery depths. Imagine The Tonight Show colliding head-on with The Exorcist, sprinkle in some found-footage chills, and top it with a martini olive of pure chaos.

We break down the film’s killer mix of satire and scares, the pitch-perfect vintage production design, and the unholy joy of watching things spiral completely off the rails on live TV. Plus, we ask the hard questions:

Would we sell our souls for better Nielsen ratings?
How many cocktails does it take before summoning a demon seems like a good idea?
And does polyester burn faster when it’s hellfire?

Grab your favorite drink, dim those studio lights, and join us for an episode that’s equal parts laughs, chills, and “did-that-just-happen?” moments.

Think Frankenstein meets The Office, with a splash of Victorian flair, a dash of existential dread, and the kind of bizarre brilliance that makes you question both science and your life choices. We’ll explore reanimation, reinvention, and the fine art of finding yourself—even if it means borrowing a brain or two along the way.

Expect plenty of laughs, a few deep (and possibly tipsy) philosophical dives, and the occasional tangent that may or may not involve questionable garage projects. Warning: listening could cause uncontrollable giggling and a sudden urge to reanimate old toasters.

Grab your drink, pull up a chair, and join us for the weirdest, wittiest cinematic conversation you never knew you needed.

It’s the story of six adventurous women who think “fun weekend” means wriggling through claustrophobic caves in the middle of nowhere. But what starts as a bonding trip quickly turns into a panic-inducing, creature-filled nightmare. Imagine girls’ night out—except the “out” is underground, and the plus-ones are blind, bloodthirsty, and very overdue for a dentist appointment.

We’ll share laughs, screams, and questionable survival strategies (“yes, you can drink in a cave… no, you shouldn’t”), all while squeezing through the tight spaces of this horror classic. Expect a descent into madness with a splash of gallows humor, a dash of survival tips, and just enough alcohol to make you wonder if you’d fight or flight when the crawlers show up.

We’ll explore how Nolan turns history into a cinematic rollercoaster full of time-bending storytelling, jaw-dropping visuals, and enough existential dread to make you refill your glass… twice. We’ll also tackle the burning questions:

Is Oppenheimer the next action hero?

Welcome to the Adult Beverage Film Podcast, where this week we’re cranking up the 8-track and heading straight back to the 1970s with Richard Linklater’s groovy coming-of-age masterpiece Dazed and Confused. Joining Kent, Patrick, Laura, and Squeeker is our special guest, Jack Solomon, as we relive the last day of school — complete with hazing rituals, parking lot parties, and just enough questionable decisions to make your parents nervous.

From Matthew McConaughey’s legendary “Alright, alright, alright” to Ben Affleck’s baseball-bat-wielding bully, we’ll break down the unforgettable performances, share our favorite lines, and argue over which character we’d actually want to hang out with (hint: it’s not O’Bannion). We’ll also dig into that killer rock ’n’ roll soundtrack — the one that makes you want to grab a cold one, hop in a muscle car, and cruise until sunrise.

Feathers, Fiascos & Fabulous Chaos — We’re Talking The Birdcage! Jul 10, 2023

This week on the Adult Beverage Film Podcast, we’re heading straight to the glittering, high-heeled heart of South Beach, Miami, where the martinis are strong, the costumes are fabulous, and the dinner parties… well, let’s just say they don’t always go as planned.

The Birdcage gives us Robin Williams as Armand Goldman, the suave owner of a drag club, and Nathan Lane as Albert — the diva of divas, a performer with more sequins than the Vegas strip. Life is perfect, until Armand’s son Val announces he’s marrying the daughter of ultra-conservative Senator Keeley (Gene Hackman). Cue the panic, the plan, and the inevitable parade of mistaken identities, awkward dinners, and fashion crimes against humanity.

We’ll sip and spill about the movie’s razor-sharp wit, Robin’s perfect straight-man-to-the-madness energy, Nathan Lane’s comedic genius, and Gene Hackman’s turn as a buttoned-up politician who somehow winds up in that outfit by the end (no spoilers, but… trust us). We’ll also toast to the film’s timeless themes of love, family, and the fact that pretending to be someone you’re not is exhausting — especially if it means hiding your drag club furniture in the closet.

So pour yourself something with a little extra flair (umbrella optional but encouraged), pull up a chair, and join Kent, Patrick, Laura, and Squeeker as we celebrate one of the most riotously funny comedies ever made. This one’s got everything — love, acceptance, feathers, farce, and enough champagne to fuel an entire Pride parade.

First Love, Big Secrets & a Side of Sass — We’re Talking Love, Simon! Jun 25, 2023

This week on the Adult Beverage Film Podcast, we’re cracking open the bubbly (and maybe a pint of ice cream) to toast Love, Simon — the charming, heartfelt, and laugh-out-loud story of a teenager juggling high school drama, first love, and one not-so-small secret.

Simon Spier looks like your average suburban teen — he’s got great friends, loving parents, and a knack for witty one-liners — but he’s also hiding a part of himself from the world. Between school musicals, awkward hallway run-ins, and mysterious emails from a secret admirer, Simon’s life turns into a rom-com meets detective story, all while he’s trying to figure out how to come out on his own terms.

We’ll sip and spill about the film’s perfect blend of humor and heart, the painfully accurate high school moments (yes, even the cringe), and why love stories like this hit harder than a bottom-shelf tequila shot. Expect a few tears, a lot of laughs, and at least one debate over which cocktail pairs best with confessing your deepest feelings to your crush.

So grab your drink, settle in, and join Kent, Patrick, Laura, and Squeeker for a sweet, sassy, and slightly tipsy celebration of a film that proves love is love — and it’s always worth raising a glass to.

Expect epic space battles, top-tier trash talk, and emotional gut punches that’ll hit harder than Groot’s tree trunk on a bad day. We’ll dish on Rocket’s backstory (bring tissues), debate Star-Lord’s worst outfit, and argue over which drink best pairs with saving the galaxy (spoiler: it’s probably something neon and dangerously strong). And yes, we’ll talk about that James Gunn magic — the perfect blend of heart, humor, and insane cosmic chaos.

So grab your beverage of choice, hop aboard the Milano, and join us for a tipsy trip through new worlds, killer one-liners, and the kind of friendship that can survive literal explosions.

Another Round (Thomas Vinterberg) Sep 17, 2021

In the film "Another Round," four high school teachers find themselves at a crossroads in their lives, feeling unfulfilled and stuck in a rut. They decide to embark on a daring experiment, inspired by the theories of a Danish philosopher, to see if constantly maintaining a blood alcohol level of 0.05% can improve their lives.

At first, the experiment seems to be a success. The teachers become more confident, creative, and energetic, and their personal and professional lives start to improve. But as the experiment continues, the line between enjoyment and addiction begins to blur, and the consequences of their actions start to catch up with them.

One teacher, Martin who is played by Mads Mikkelsen, finds himself facing the end of his marriage and the loss of his children, while another, Tommy who is played by Thomas Bo Larsen, is haunted by the death of a student he was drinking with. The group soon realizes that the experiment has spiraled out of control, and they must find a way to stop before it's too late.

In the end, the teachers come to understand the true meaning of moderation and the importance of finding balance in their lives. They acknowledge that alcohol can be a source of enjoyment and pleasure, but it should never be relied upon as a solution to life's problems.

"Another Round" was a thought-provoking film that explored the complexities of addiction and the consequences of excess. It was a powerful reminder that sometimes, the things we turn to for comfort and escape can end up doing more harm than good. The film was a critical and commercial success, earning widespread praise for its insightful commentary and outstanding performances.

Almost Famous (Cameron Crowe) Apr 06, 2021

Almost Famous is a 2000 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Cameron Crowe and starring Billy Crudup, Frances McDormand, Kate Hudson, and Patrick Fugit. It tells the story of a teenage journalist writing for Rolling Stone in the early 1970s, his touring with the fictitious rock band Stillwater, and his efforts to get his first cover story published.

It is based on his experiences touring with rock bands Poco, the Allman Brothers Band, Led Zeppelin, Eagles, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Crowe has discussed how during this period he lost his virginity, fell in love, and met his musical heroes—these events represented in the film as happening to William Miller (Fugit), the boyish main character.

#34: The Final Girls (Todd Strauss-Schulson) Feb 22, 2021

If you love, self-mocking films like Tucker & Dale, then this is something that you will love. It's a love letter to cheesy horror films from the 1980's with an interesting twist. It's harp, wickedly funny, and pays homage to the slasher films. Max Cartwright waits while her actress mother, Amanda, auditions for a film. When she returns, Amanda complains that she'll only be known as scream queen Nancy in the 1986 slasher film Camp Bloodbath, a cult classic. On the way home, the two get into a car accident and Amanda is killed. Three years later, on the anniversary of her mother's death, Max is studying with her friends Gertie and Chris. Gertie's stepbrother Duncan, a horror film fanatic, shows up and persuades Max to attend a special double-feature showing of Camp Bloodbath and its sequel. At the screening, Max is not too thrilled that Chris' possessive ex-girlfriend – and her former best friend – Vicki is there as well. During the film, the theater is accidentally set ablaze. In order to get the group to safety, Max uses a machete to cut a hole in the screen and they all step through.

Bullets, Banter & The Best Western Ever Made — We’re Talking The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly! Mar 25, 2019

Saddle up, partners, because this week on the Adult Beverage Film Podcast we’re spitting dust, dodging bullets, and riding straight into Sergio Leone’s legendary masterpiece, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Widely considered one of the greatest Westerns of all time, this final chapter of Leone’s “Dollars Trilogy” is equal parts gunslinging action, razor-sharp wit, and epic standoffs that could make tumbleweeds sweat.

We’ll sip and shoot the breeze about Clint Eastwood’s effortlessly cool “Good,” Lee Van Cleef’s cold-as-a-cactus “Bad,” and Eli Wallach’s scene-stealing “Ugly” — a trio locked in a dusty dance over buried gold. From Ennio Morricone’s iconic whistle-filled score to Leone’s sweeping desert vistas and tension-packed close-ups, we’ll explore how this film redefined the Western and gave us some of the most memorable showdowns in movie history.

Expect tales from behind the camera, a breakdown of Leone’s revolutionary style, and plenty of laughs about life in the Wild West — where your drink’s always warm, your boots are always dusty, and the guy sitting across from you might just shoot you before you finish your whiskey.

So grab your hat, holster your glass, and join Kent, Patrick, Laura, and Squeeker as we take aim at a film that’s as timeless as a sunset over Monument Valley.

Roller Skates, Disco Balls & Dirk Diggler — We’re Talking Boogie Nights! Mar 06, 2019

his week on the Adult Beverage Film Podcast, we’re shaking up some margaritas and diving headfirst into Paul Thomas Anderson’s wild, glitter-covered masterpiece, Boogie Nights. Set in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley, this film takes us from the sticky floors of a nightclub to the bright lights (and questionable carpets) of the adult film industry in the late ’70s and early ’80s.

We’ll follow the rise (and occasional crash) of Eddie Adams, a humble dishwasher who transforms into adult film legend Dirk Diggler. Along the way, we meet a cast of unforgettable characters — from Burt Reynolds’ charismatic director to Julianne Moore’s motherly (and slightly messy) co-star — all grooving through the highs, lows, and neon glow of a rapidly changing industry.

We’ll sip and spill about Anderson’s dynamic direction, the unforgettable soundtrack, and why this film is somehow both outrageous and heartfelt at the same time. Expect tangents about polyester fashion crimes, questionable life choices, and how roller skates should really make a comeback.

So grab your margarita, settle in, and join Kent, Patrick, Laura, and Squeeker as we toast to the chaos, charm, and cinematic genius of Boogie Nights.

Blood, Sweat & Cymbals to the Face — We’re Talking Whiplash! Feb 19, 2019

This week on the Adult Beverage Film Podcast, we’re cranking the tempo up to “ludicrous speed” and diving into Damien Chazelle’s Whiplash — the most intense jazz drumming movie in history, and possibly the only film that could make a metronome feel like a torture device.

Miles Teller plays Andrew Neiman, an ambitious jazz drummer who wants to be one of the greats. J.K. Simmons plays Terence Fletcher, an instructor who believes greatness can only be achieved through fear, verbal warfare, and the occasional flying chair. Paul Reiser and Melissa Benoist pop in for moments of sanity — but blink and you’ll miss them between all the cymbal crashes and emotional breakdowns.

We’ll sip and chat about the razor-sharp editing, the relentless pacing, and why Fletcher’s teaching style makes Gordon Ramsay look like a supportive life coach. We’ll debate whether pushing someone to the edge of their sanity is genius, madness, or just a great way to get banned from every jazz club in the country. And, of course, we’ll talk about that ending — the one that leaves you breathless, sweaty, and maybe wondering if you just watched a sports movie disguised as a jazz recital.

So grab your drink (something strong, because Fletcher is terrifying), join Kent, Patrick, Laura, and Squeeker, and let’s talk music, obsession, and why the path to greatness might not be worth the bruises — emotional or physical.

Chianti, Cannibals & Creepy Basement Dances — We’re Talking The Silence of the Lambs! Feb 08, 2019

This week on the Adult Beverage Film Podcast, we’re uncorking a nice bottle of Chianti (fava beans optional) and diving deep into Jonathan Demme’s psychological horror masterpiece, The Silence of the Lambs.

Jodie Foster’s Clarice Starling is just trying to graduate FBI school without too many nightmares, but instead she’s sent to have polite conversation time with the most terrifying dinner host in cinema history — Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), a man who can dissect your psyche and your spleen in one sitting. All the while, there’s another killer on the loose: Buffalo Bill, the man who’s somehow more horrifying than the guy who eats people, and who has singlehandedly ensured that no one will ever hear “Goodbye Horses” the same way again.

We’ll sip and chat about everything from Hopkins’ bone-chilling “Hello, Clarice” to the art of making a basement scene so tense you’ll forget how to breathe. We’ll also explore why The Silence of the Lambs is still one of the most unsettling — and oddly classy — horror thrillers ever made.

So grab your drink of choice (maybe skip the Chianti if you’re squeamish), join Kent, Patrick, Laura, and Squeeker, and let’s talk serial killers, FBI mind games, and exactly how much lotion is too much lotion in the basket.
